Every single one of those will come down in an uncontrolled reentry. That's a lot of metal in the atmosphere, and a lot of dice-rolling to see if any more pieces will make it to the ground.
SpaceX is truly awful.

His really big spaceship is a flaming mess too. Flawed system concept. Years behind schedule. Unlikely to every work.

@mastodonmigration @sundogplanets He just needs a good supplier of Rearden Metal and everything will be fine

@sundogplanets There's also the ozone layer issue. Holes in it used to be a bad thing. I guess not anynore. Musk is destroying the planet and no one stops him.

@sundogplanets but they increased the price for aviation customers from $65/month to $250 and decreased the allowance to 20GB. That’s over 3.5x shareholder value! And if you want to go >300MPH, it’s $1,000. That’s >15x! Line go up means they should be allowed to dump as much metal into the atmosphere, no matter what unknown consequences might occur.

What percentage of those articles were generated by "AI"? 50%? 80?

@sundogplanets
Truly awful. And also on track to pull off a nice heist of everyone's retirement savings. Accelerated entry into the indexes, weighted at 5x actual float. Which means every passive index fund that doesn't exclude mega-caps will be forced to buy a ton of that garbage...
Michael Burry Flags 'Structural Manipulation' Risk In Nasdaq Rules Ahead Of Potential SpaceX Listing
Michael Burry slams Nasdaq's proposed rule changes that could fast-track SpaceX into the Nasdaq-100 just 15 days after its IPO, warning of forced passive buying and insider wealth transfer at the expense of retail investors.

@sundogplanets Apparently this is why the Ozone hole is back. And the buggers are only just getting started.

@sundogplanets SpaceX - or rather #Starlink - is my lifeline, and the lifeline of many thousands of others living in a rural location with no proper broadband service. #Spacex may be "awful" but it has improved my quality of life immeasurably.

@drewtowler Absolutely understand that. SpaceX could provide internet access without destroying the night sky and the atmosphere if they would focus on providing service with fewer satellites that have longer operating lifetimes. That is the engineering challenge they need to rise to.

@drewtowler can you not instead get ViaSat or HughesNet?

I remember those passing scenes in Wall-E with Earth literally covered in space trash. Little me found the surface wasteland plausible but space junk—couldn't be that bad, right?

Also, those satellites are what allows Putin to help Iran target us.
Not an environmental problem, but worth mentioning. -

As @sundogplanets wrote: Satellite internet works fine with far fewer satellites in higher orbits.
Or more places could have fiber run out to local wireless towers.
Instead of giving still more money to Elon Musk's scam.
